Nearly every culture in human history has sought to encounter and honor the divine, the mysterious, the supernatural or the extraordinary in some way. This most often occurs at sacred sites - special places where the physical world seems to meet the spiritual world.Such sacred sites might include awe-inspiring natural places, sites made special by their connection to a god, a saint or a religious hero, places where miracles occurred, or buildings made sacred by their use for worship or ritual.
Founded in April 2005 by a religious historian who loves to travel, the Sacred Destinations Travel Guide has grown into an ecumenical guide to more than 1,300 sacred sites, holy places, religious buildings, religious artifacts, and pilgrimage destinations in 55 countries around the world.
